Trust in American institutions is eroding. Over 50% have little to no confidence in Congress, with only 3% expressing strong trust. The executive branch, led by Democrat Joe Biden, sees 39% of adults expressing distrust, with 56% of Republicans being particularly skeptical. Meanwhile, the conservative-majority Supreme Court faces skepticism from 36% of the population. This decline in trust extends to other pillars like religion, policing, and banking.
